This inventive narrative invites students into the world of Neil Dobbs, adolescent school student, who has the knack of being on the spot to witness the oddest events. His zany adventures and Simpsons-like humour will have strong appeal to both boys and girls. With it comes a Teacher's Guide, the perfect tool for integrating it into the high school classroom. It is not linked to any specific syllabus, allowing for easy national and international applications. Suggested activities focus on written and oral communication, as well as visual literacy. The accompanying proposal outlines the features of both Mullumbimby Madness and the Teacher's Guide, including samples from the first five chapters of the books.The book has a large target audience because high school students can easily relate to the characters' exploits. Mullumbimby Madness in manuscript form has generated great enthusiasm from otherwise low interest readers. The Teacher’s Guide provides varied and diverse classroom activities. Views: 627
In a fantasy world, a journal is found describing events either real or myth about a nation known only as the Illistarta and how they came to be forgotten. A man once known as Quillis Olgatin is haunted by his guilty secret.Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced—and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew. Over the last thousand years, the humans of Kalda have regressed to a medieval realm; magical objects are scarce and outlawed in certain Kingdoms. Though mages are abundant magical items are precious and often tip the balance of power. Thirsty for power, the necromancers of Soroth often send expeditions to the far reaches of Kalda. On one such search to a remote island ancient texts are discovered detailing the ancient dragon war and the Amulet of Draconic Control. Wary of the find, a warrior must decide whether to deliver them to the necromancers or ally with an old friend–the fate of Kalda rests in his hands. An epic tale in a far off mystical land, The Dragons’ Legacy will send you on a riveting ride fraught with adventure, intrigue and wonder. Views: 626

Here, eagerly anticipated, is the definitive biography of Elijah Muhammad (né Elija Poole), a sharecropper's son with a fourth- grade education who became one of the most controversial Americans of the twentieth century, the founder and "Prophet" of the Nation of Islam, a movement dedicated to black separatism and self-empowerment.Though Muhammad's main argument--that white people were innately evil ("devils," he called them)--ran counter to the precepts of orthodox Islam, he was the chief influence in the conversion of nearly four million African Americans to Islam, touching in the process the lives of figures ranging from Muhammad Ali and Jesse Jackson to Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. But in his desperate grasp for power, Muhammad also amassed a huge personal fortune at the expense of his followers. He was a party to ritualistic homicides, had illicit affairs galore, and was quick to betray his friends and charges, most notably Malcolm X. In brief, he violated... Views: 626
